Images: Epcot's Test Track reopens after months-long refresh

After an eight-month long refresh, Test Track is open again to Walt Disney World Resort visitors at Epcot.

As part of the wait process for an actual vehicle, riders will design a virtual car that gets rated on capability, efficiency, responsiveness and power.

Riders can pick everything from the car’s sleek profile, to its wheels and accessories. The best part: You get to see how your design performs on the track.

The ride is darker, but with bright neon features and sets surrounding you. (Think “Tron.”) The lighting makes a great difference in the visibility of the mechanics that power the ride. You’ll feel now like you’re less on a track, and more on a road. It’s less predictable.

The stories-tall projections inside the ride will wow you as well. And some of the other effects, like neon trees that seemingly construct themselves from nowhere, are also welcome additions.

Remember that car you created in the beginning? There are more chances to check it out and take it for a spin even after you step out of your ride vehicle.
